Tenchu: Fatal Shadows

Is it time to put these ninjas to bed? They're already wearing their pajamas, after all. Read Review

Set directly after the events of the original PlayStation One titleTenchu, Tenchu Kurenai is a side story in the popular ninja stealth action series. But since the story of Wrath of Heaven is set after that of Kurenai, Rikimaru is thought to be dead and the plot follows Ayame instead. As an added bonus, however, players will also be able to control a second female assassin named Rin. One of the leaders of the Kuroya Shimatsuya group that attacked Hagakure no Sato, holds a childhood grudge against Rin and wants her dead. To keep that from happening, gameplay is once again stealth-based and allows for spying on foes, distraction, sneaking, and quick and silent elimination. New to the series is the ability to carry and hide bodies as well.

While it's no longer the only stealth game on the block, the Tenchu series' slick combination of sneaky action and sneakier ninja hijinx have won it a place in many gamers' hearts. However, the first PS2 incarnation, The Wrath of Heaven, was a mild disappointment to longtime fans. While solid, it simplified the gameplay a bit and omitted some features of the previous game, Tenchu 2. Now, Sega has revealed a new Tenchu adventure for the PS2, complete with the rather unimaginative subtitle of Fatal Shadows. But what it lacks in originality it could well make up for in quality. In fact, Tenchu 2 fans might have a lot to look forward to. Read More »
